Abstract: A rotary disc filtration apparatus, for filtering liquids containing solid particles, comprises a vessel (2) which defines an internal surface (13), at least one inlet opening (23) for the liquid to be filtered and one outlet opening for the filtered liquid, at least one pair of coaxial filter discs (5), substantially plane, axially spaced, rotatably mounted in the vessel, each of the filter discs (5) having a peripheral edge (8) co-operating with a least a part of the internal vessel surface (13) to define together with the latter a filtering chamber (14). Each filter disc (5) is supported peripherally on the internal side of the vessel with no central supporting part. Each filter disc (5) comprises an annular frame (7) on which the filtering surface (10) is fixed in such a way to cover completely and continuously the internal surface of the frame. The apparatus allows the disassembling of each single filtering disc. Moreover it allows the installation of driving means with lower power compared with filtering apparatuses having axial drive.

Abstract: A rewinding mechanism 22,24 for rewinding strip material 14 fed
through an apparatus 16 performing a work operation on the strip material 14
includes a housing 44 for supporting a drive shaft 50 with a drive roller 56 and
an idler shaft 52 with an idler roller 62. The drive shaft 50 is driven by a drive
motor 60 at a constant speed in take-up direction. A first rewinding mechanism
22 is placed at a supply end 32 of the apparatus 16 and supports a supply roll 40 of
strip material, The first rewinding mechanism 22 allows the strip material 14 to
be pulled from the supply roll 40. A second rewinding 24 mechanism is placed

Abstract: A system (10) for remote control of
performance of a function includes a portable transmitter
unit (14) and a receiver unit (18). In one embodiment,
the system (10) is a remote vehicle system.
The transmitter unit (14) transmits a signal (16). The
signal has a RF frequency at an unknown value within a
range of values and conveys a message that contains a
function request. Within the receiver unit (18) is
superheterodyne circuitry (32) that has a mixer (44). The
mixer (44) mixes a RF signal (42) coming from an
antenna (28) and a reference frequency signal from a
reference oscillator (46), and outputs an intermediate
frequency signal (50) conveying the message. A bandpass
filter (66) filters the intermediate frequency signal to
pass a range of frequency values smaller than a known
range of intermediate frequency values. Tuning control
circuitry (70) automatically sweeps the bandpass range
of the bandpass filter (66)
over the intermediate frequency range. Passage detector
circuitry (72) senses the intermediate frequency signal
passing through the bandpass filter (66) and automatically
causes the sweeping of the bandpass range to stop.

Abstract: A pressure modulation cycle is operated for the or each adsorber (I, II, III, IV) with stages of adsorption, decompression, regeneration and repressurization. The cycle also includes at least temporarily a stage in which the adsorber is isolated while the pressure variation is relieved in it. The isolation stage is carried out at an intermediate pressure between the high pressure (PM) and the low pressure (Pm) of the cycle. The relieved pressure variation is compared to a set threshold value and an alarm is set off when the pressure exceeds the threshold value. The isolation stage lasts for between 0.5 and 5% of the total cycle time, that is for more than 5 seconds and preferably between 10 and 20 seconds. The isolation stage occurs between two stages of balancing pressures between adsorbers, and/or after a first decompression stage in forward flow and before a scrubbing stage, in particular immediately after the first decompression stage in forward flow. Alternatively, the isolation stage occurs after a first recompression stage and before the final recompression, in particular immediately before the final recompression. The difference between the high and low pressures is at least 6 bars, and preferably at least 10 bars. Separation unit using pressure modulated adsorption to operate the above cycle. Application of such a process to the purification of hydrogen from a mixture of gases, in particular a mixture containing H2, N2, CO, CH4, CO2, or the purification of helium from a mixture containing He, N2, O2 and Ar, or the separation of air.
